[craggy shoal]

Remote dispatching for a driver at my parents' company this morning

[dusk knot]

Good

Their own business. Wonderful

Not that 9-5 life

[craggy shoal]

8-12pm today

[dusk knot]

Decent

[craggy shoal]

Yeah. Extra four hours. I'll absolutely take it

[craggy shoal]

Can't ever have enough white PLA

Bruh they stopped producing PETG 🫠

First their normal PETG, now their PETG-HF. I swear they need to make up their minds ffs

[dusk knot]

Idk what these are 🙃

Is this for 3d printing?

[craggy shoal]

Yes

[dusk knot]

Oh ok

You should make one awesome print since you made the tall boat from the other day lol

[craggy shoal]

• PLA: The weakest but the easiest to print
• PLA Tough+: Still PLA but stronger I guess. I've also read that it smells bad (not sure what that's about)
• PETG: Stronger than PLA. You can bend it. More intermediate than PLA
• PETG-HF: Same thing as PETG, basically (It's basically PETG but you can print it faster)
• ABS: Strongest indoor-use filament. Smells bad. Toxic. Great heat resistance
• ASA: Stronger than ABS. Great for outdoor-use. Doesn't smell as bad but still toxic. Also has great heat resistance. People are starting to realize that it's way better than ABS

General breakdown lol

[craggy shoal]

I'm printing a modular set of drawers

[dusk knot]

O

[craggy shoal]

Currently printing one of the drawers. Takes like five hours 💀

[dusk knot]

A small little drawer for small things I would think

[craggy shoal]

Basically the drawer part of this

I'm going to print just a few drawers (probably like four drawers, and then I can put shelves on top to cover the drawers). And then maybe like two more drawers for my filament stand (I have like a 2x3-unit shelf for my filaments. The drawers would go under that)

[wary fjord]

@idle nexus

u gonna do this on your ram?

[craggy shoal]

Water-cooled RAM? 💀

[wary fjord]

yeah

[craggy shoal]

bruh

[wary fjord]

gonna make that water work

i think u need that if u running 10k mts

[dusk knot]

Oh cool!

[dusk knot]

Water-cooled....CMOs battery

[craggy shoal]

That would be wild

[dusk knot]

I got nothing else

[craggy shoal]

Water-cooled BIOS chip

Water-cooled RTC chip lmaoooo

[lethal jasper]

when are we making a 3.5 inch drive the size of an hdd that can hold like 4 double sided layers of 4x5 2 tb micro sd cards

surely it will work trust

[lethal jasper]

hell yea

40 2tb micro sds on each plate

so like

[craggy shoal]

"Official slur" 💀

[craggy shoal]

For exactly what though

lol

[lethal jasper]

320 terabytes of storage

surely

trust trust

[craggy shoal]

Don't tell me it's for booting 💀

[lethal jasper]

uh idk its a revolutionary idea trust

[craggy shoal]

lmao

[lethal jasper]

320 terabytes worth of 2 tb micro sd cards

truly it will work

or a 2 tb ssd with 160 backups

[craggy shoal]

Or (and it blows my mind that we haven't done this yet) we could completely fill the 2.5" enclosure that 2.5" SATA SSDs come in

[lethal jasper]

true but more space in 3.5"

[craggy shoal]

like bruh let's just fill that

[lethal jasper]

it will cost a fortune but uh its for science trust

[craggy shoal]

Or yeah just make a massive 3.5" SSD

[lethal jasper]

actually true theres space here for like

at least 10 micro sds

[craggy shoal]

That wouldn't go well 💀

[lethal jasper]

or just make a bigger pcn

pcb

[lethal jasper]

trust

[craggy shoal]

lmao

[lethal jasper]

what sizes are those

[royal crow]

2.5 in sata

[dusk knot]

Wow ...it's raining buckets

[lethal jasper]

why dont we make like 1 inch long slots for these smaller pcbs so that you can put 2 in a 2.5'' slot

[lethal jasper]

yea ik but storage wise

[royal crow]

No idea

Could be .25 tb, could be 10

[craggy shoal]

2.5". SATA SSDs that have a physical SATA connection (not M.2) only come in 2.5" form factors

[lethal jasper]

.128

[lethal jasper]

yea ik

[craggy shoal]

bruh

[lethal jasper]

but is the small one like 128 gb or something

or 256

[craggy shoal]

"What sizes are those?"

"2.5-inches"

"Yeah I know that"

oh

idk

[lethal jasper]

i meant capacity

storage

[craggy shoal]

@lethal jasper
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/b1H2WfxI878

[elfin mural]

storage capacity isn't always confined to physical size

it depends on what you're comparing with

this kind of thing has been done before pretty sure

reliability would be awful though ngl

[craggy shoal]

Requires RAID 1. And even then, that probably wouldn't work well either

[rancid juniper]

I slept

[lethal jasper]

true but funny

[tranquil pebble]

meme tier ssd

[lethal jasper]

youre telling me that putting like 60 2 terabyte SSDs in a single 3.5 inch HDDs worth of space isnt normal?

[idle nexus]

built-in VPN apparently now?

[upper rain]

microsoft backdoored i'm sure

then again, they're all backdoored so whateva

[idle nexus]

PIP feature kinda cool

are they? ig if you don't pay for one probably

or even if you do let's be honest

ig PIP stays open when you switch tabs so video still visible

[sinful blade]

Wassup

[lethal jasper]

but do they get this goat

[faint remnant]

DMs it won’t let me send pictures here

[idle nexus]

I'm on the fence about this 24-pin hmm

[north crescent]

Mmmhhh, VPN marketing... How does a VPN protect me from online hackers, keep location private, or safeguard any data lol?

Middle claim is the only thing being closest to not a lie, but there are a lot of ways to get location from ad ID tracking

[idle nexus]

I never really got into VPNs. The only time I ever used one was for the MLB app for my mom

every game would be available except for the one she actually wanted to watch

[north crescent]

Okay wait I guess technically last point is true for me. I use it to not get ISP warnings of a certain action, safeguarding my identity

But that is def more trying to market as "they wont steal your onedrive" lol

[idle nexus]

lol I'm sure it's totally self-serving

anything "free" on the internet means you're the product

[frosty sinew]

Refurbished: Dell Inspiron 15.6" Touchscreen Laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 7730U, 16GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, Windows 11 Home, i3535-A813BLK-PUS - Newegg.ca https://share.google/gQiWbMbJemwnLYD9s

Decent?

Its in cad

[north crescent]

Tbh that's not too uncommon for even paid stuff now lol

[idle nexus]

lol ya like Roku TVs & related crap

@upper rain there's this extension called Amazon Vine Helper that lets you pin items, fixes the infinite load thing, hide other crap, & make it everything show up on one page btw

also highlights newly added items

[north crescent]

Looks fairly okay as an office computer. Not really getting more for the price

[frosty sinew]

Yeah that was my thought too

Its just for like google docs

In uni

But ryzen 7 at 600 bucks isnt rlly a thing when buying new soo

[north crescent]

If you really want to save money, chromebook with Linux is a barely usable option

[wary fjord]

u need one with lcd

lcd is a trend now xD

[frosty sinew]

Absolutely not lol

I want it to work

I bought it

[rancid juniper]

work laptop?

[frosty sinew]

Uni one yeah

Just need smtg decently cheap with good battery

[rancid juniper]

not bad for a $500 laptop

[frosty sinew]

This was good cuz its open box

[rancid juniper]

i have the same CPU, its good

[frosty sinew]

Its like 1k new iirc

[frosty sinew]

Yeah it was the only one for that in the price range

Everything else was old intel

Only issues ive seen are that its heavy, and just hinge issues

But thats cuz people wrench on them by the corners

[rancid juniper]

yea best way to open it up is from the middle

even pressure i think

[frosty sinew]

Yeah iirc

Idk just be careful with it and its fine

What would you call it if a CEO got replaced by open source AI? ||under GNU management||

[spice sequoia]

Hello

I’m looking for a laptop or desktop capable of efficiently managing over 3,000 Chrome tabs simultaneously. What specifications or models would you recommend for this level of multitasking performance

[tranquil pebble]

Threadripper and 2 TB of RAM

Maybe try not opening every bookmark you have at once?

[worthy meteor]

Are you looking to run them concurrently on the same install or are you trying to do something like a number of vms or emulators that each have a smaller number of tabs open?

[dusk knot]

hahaha

[pliant berry]

if it was a single user I think you would have other problems

[tranquil pebble]

using tabs as bookmarks is the only bad habit I can think of that would make someone feel the need for 3,000 tabs

[pliant berry]

yeah but 3000 tabs is virtually impossible to navigate. sure my browser might be showing 100 tabs at times but I can't imagine having more than 20 or 30 active at a time

[worthy meteor]

I'm thinking more like the 500 phone bot farms lol

[tranquil pebble]

this user is also in Python discord... interesting

[pliant berry]

[tranquil pebble]

They are up to something... very odd.

[worthy meteor]

it might be unethical but afaik not illegal

[tranquil pebble]

ethics barely exist in society anymore

[rancid juniper]

are you fine with buying refurbished or open-box laptops?

[dense merlin]

Yeah ofc

[rancid juniper]

nice alr ill see what i can find

[dense merlin]

If they work fine I just don’t wanna waste all my money on a gaming laptop ik he only plays Roblox and freaking fort lol

He’s been wanting one for a bit so I saved up for his b day

[dense merlin]

Thanks and lmk I’ll be looking too lol

[rancid juniper]

this is in USD right?

[dense merlin]

Yes sir

[nocturne flicker]

We should do this. The companies would instantly do 50% better because all CEOs do is sit around and take large paychecks and stock bonuses

[frigid stag]

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-gif-24395495

[tranquil pebble]

sometimes they get sued, if you happen to be an Intel CEO

[nocturne flicker]

Sometimes they also show up on news channels to talk about why they should be making enough money for another boat

[tranquil pebble]

lol real

[rancid juniper]

@dense merlin I found an rtx 4060 laptop but the problem is that the GPU only goes up to 75w and the IPS screen is 45% NTSC

Don't really like that

[dense merlin]

Yeah what other options would there be

I got like 3 days to buy it for him

So idk if u wanna help me look out throughout those 3 days but yk obv the earlier the better

[topaz crown]

Hello @dense merlin! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.

[dense merlin]

But again it don’t gotta be too crazy the most graphic game he’ll prob play is GTA rp lol

[rough zinc]

...does the bot just send that everytimr someone has the word help in their message?

[rancid juniper]

Found some 4050 offers but I still gotta research em

One of them is more expensive lol

[dense merlin]

Bet please do and let me know

[dense merlin]

How much more

[rancid juniper]

Gotchu

[dense merlin]

Like I’d go into the 750s if I got too

Yk

[rancid juniper]

100$ more

[rancid juniper]

Probably lol

Test it

[dense merlin]

Nah I can’t tbh I got bills to pay lil brother will be fine

😭😭😭

[tranquil pebble]

that seems to not be the only thing it is based on

might be only to new/newish users too

[nocturne flicker]

Let us find out

I need help with a build that is made of x components for the price of y dollars

Mmm

[tranquil pebble]

as I thought

I have only ever seen the bot reply to new users

[rough zinc]

Makes sense

Would be funny if it really was just any message that said help

[pliant berry]

help me im poor

damn this bot advanced

[dusk knot]

Hello, poor

I am also poor!

Can we be friends?

[sinful blade]

I think it’s “I need help” or “can someone help”

[acoustic palm]

i need help

can someone help

[rancid juniper]

@dense merlin can't find anything better, either some are lower spec'd or lower power
RTX 4060 laptop (75w): https://www.ebay.com/itm/266896713942?

yep

[rancid juniper]

i got lucky getting mines, atleast my 4060 can hit up to 120w

[acoustic palm]

damn

whats the dgpu eq

[sinful blade]

Hey @rough aurora and @modern imp can I borrow you

[tranquil pebble]

LTT if it was good

[rancid juniper]

same thing

the 4060 mobile and desktop are one in the same

maybe except for stock power/vram clockspeed

https://youtu.be/9XpiDCHpuO8?si=uG_JzroBFOvNVvGC

[dense locust]

That just shows how much the 4060 sucks

[royal crow]

Can someone help me with my mac?

Dang

[dense merlin]

Which would you get

It’s for a 13 year old

[rancid juniper]

probably the 4060 option

[dense merlin]

Bet buying rn then

Thanks a lot

[rancid juniper]

np

[royal crow]

Speaking of

If i ever build my lil bro a pc imma get im a 5600x and rx 6600

Abt $720

[dense locust]

The true Xbox 720

[royal crow]

Huh

[rancid juniper]

could be better ig

[unreal trail]

[royal crow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/c7Jvbv

[misty sparrow]

RX 6600 is like

really old right?

[royal crow]

Eh

[misty sparrow]

maybe like five years or so

[rancid juniper]

the joke

[misty sparrow]

thats crazy

[royal crow]

Does this link work

[rancid juniper]

no

[royal crow]

[proud jackal]

So my aircon and PC is on same circuit and it keeps tripping the breaker

😹

[royal crow]

💀

[royal crow]

What state u in?

[unreal trail]

your PC is drawing so much power that it's tripping the breaker?

[royal crow]

Plus his ac

[proud jackal]

1300 watts for ac at max, 500-600w possible for 5090 alone

[royal crow]

Oh great heavens

[misty sparrow]

gtav is done

[royal crow]

FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY HOURS

[misty sparrow]

its inaccurate

at best it's at least 100

[royal crow]

U afkd?

[misty sparrow]

no

like two days ago it was roughly 230

now it's 550

[royal crow]

Oh

So you have a time machine....😂

[misty sparrow]

ingame ver

id say like 90 hours spent

maybe 80

[royal crow]

Hmm

[tranquil pebble]

meanwhile my gmod be like

[misty sparrow]

to be fair you can get way more time out of gmod than singleplayer GTA

[royal crow]

💀

[tranquil pebble]

ik but 10k is a lot even for gmod lol

[misty sparrow]

you can probably post a funny review about your playtime and farm steam points

like that one guy who posted a review containing "It's okay I guess" when he had 10k playtime

[tranquil pebble]

SAM was not used for this... it was from someone in a server spoofing Garry's SteamID

[acoustic palm]

what even is gmod

[misty sparrow]

I hate when games make achievements like this

and then the developers just don't play the game

[dense locust]

It’s like Roblox if it didn’t suck

[misty sparrow]

UK ID spoof software

[tranquil pebble]

that is S&box not gmod

[dense locust]

Hmmm

How goes the gmod but in source 2?

Forget its name

[tranquil pebble]

S&box, and it is NOT GMod in Source 2... more like Roblox

someone could reimplement GMod modes in S&box though

[misty sparrow]

you can make other games inside S&box

[dense locust]

I’m not qualified enough for this conversation

[misty sparrow]

gmod but in source 2 would be an incredible waste

that's like saying we should get TF2 in source 2

[tranquil pebble]

Roblox, but not a cash grab, and in source 2... that is what s&box is

[dense locust]

This implies it has the child labor

[tranquil pebble]

Well, if kids want to make content for it, that is just UGC

Nobody is forcing them to

and I should mention this has VR too

when development on this is done, Roblox is going to be hurting

[dense locust]

I’m surprised what Roblox has gotten away with

[royal crow]

Given it's a kids game, im not really

[tranquil pebble]

Cirno moment

[nocturne flicker]

We only regulate access to paid advertisements for kids, not gambling or microtransactions

Why would we ever do that

Need to get them hooked early so that lotteries work

Our store even has a lottery ticket dispenser that anybody can put money in and get tickets. Ez gamba

The dispensing tray is even at kid height for maximum effectiveness

[heavy dew]

Roblox is a joke of a game

I hate Roblox with every living bone and fiber in my body

[unreal trail]

Roblox is a dating app

[frosty sinew]

Core one go brrrt

[heavy dew]

No, Roblox is for grooming

[dusk knot]

Not a sound I would be comfortable hearing from a 3D printer

[frosty sinew]

Loll

True

[upper rain]

https://tenor.com/view/fbi-agent-gif-17540199569095667102

[deep parcel]

no hes true

they are making it so that there can be 21+ year old dating experiences in roblox or something now

which is crazy

another link lol

[misty sparrow]

A dating feature on an app that has mostly children is crazy

put the adults on another app good lord

[deep parcel]

for real

[misty sparrow]

this is why Tinder exists

roblox doesnt need this

[deep parcel]

make a tinder x roblox but have it be a separate client that has crossplay capibility for your items and stuff or something and it might work

but yeah its weird

[misty sparrow]

it's already weird seeing people dress up in risque outfits in a childrens game because people can create their own clothes in roblox now

furry outfits too

some of them

[wary fjord]

for kids?

a kid game with dating feature?

are you guys low in birth rate too whats up with that xD

ima say no to that feature. .and im gonna uninstall that game on my lil sister tablet xD

hell no

[deep parcel]

for adults but im sure some kids will find a way through

likely you would need an ID to join these experiences

[deep parcel]

youve always been able to create your own clothes on roblox lol I remember back in 2012 making t shirts on roblox... its just that everything has become more disgusting overtime.

[wary fjord]

yikes

[dusk knot]

💀

But I agree, separate the adults from the children

[lone mango]

Batman will reportedly appear in The Batman Part ll

X · Aug 8, 2025, 8:07 PM

[dusk knot]

No way

[royal crow]

Aw man i thought it was gonna be abt iron man

[icy ore]

Yeah I’d hoped so smh

[spice sequoia]

I’m aiming to run them concurrently on a single installation, not across multiple VMs or emulators. While I mentioned 3,000 tabs, I was exaggerating a bit 1,000+ tabs is more realistic, but I still need robust performance for that level of multitasking

[spice sequoia]

😀😀😀yes I’m a programmer.

[spice sequoia]

I’m definitely working on something ambitious, but the unusual aspect isn’t the main focus.😇😇

[worthy meteor]

Anything specific?

[deep parcel]

Maybe specifically top of the line processors would do it such as the Threadripper PRO 9995WX

I mean it really depends on what youre looking to spend

heres all of the modern threadripper cpus

as far as the regular ryzen 9000 series like a 9950X3D... it would maybe be able to do it but I think the main thing to think about is the stability of the browser application itself because most browsers arent built to handle that many tabs.

Also those threadripper systems can have way more ram installed with those mobos vs the regular consumer chips where they can mostly only have up to 256gb of ram at the most I believe while threadrippers can handle up to 2TB of ram.

[spice sequoia]

Just aiming for a setup that can handle 1,000+ Chrome tabs running concurrently on one system. No specific constraints beyond that just need something powerful enough to keep up with heavy multitasking

[hoary zodiac]

It really depends if you need multi core performance or single core performance

You might be able to get away with older hardware

If it's only multi thread that you're after

[nocturne flicker]

But will Batman be in two parts

[worthy meteor]

If each of the tabs don't take much if any resources, a simple 8c16t chip like a 7700x will be enough, if each tab is going to actually be doing something somewhat intensive, you'll want threadripper or xeon

[misty sparrow]

yes, because he's bat and man

[nocturne flicker]

So you're saying yes, and it's because he's Batman? Hmm. I see

[spice sequoia]

Thank you! I’m looking for a pre-built desktop or laptop available from any retailer that can handle my needs. I’m not interested in building one from scratch. If anyone here is a professional PC builder who can assist with a custom pre-built solution, that’d be great too!

[misty sparrow]

one part alone does not make him

when combined he becomes batman

It is overclocking really well

I saw it peak to 3497

It just peaked 3.503

@upper rain this is crazy

Linux wont let me go over 182w so this is at 182w as well

Adrenalin lets you go to 200

hello

[fresh timber]

i have a final pc list

🙂

i wonder how long a 9800x3d would last under a stock cooler

[icy ore]

with how inexpensive the phantom spirit is it’s honestly prob just worth grabbing that

[fresh timber]

💀 its for an expirment

[icy ore]

ah

[fresh timber]

ima grab a stock cooler from a friend to see how long a 9800x3d last

[icy ore]

nice, only one way to find out

[fresh timber]

ima stream the pc build, it funna be fun

i strive to have the best amd gaming pc

and when new cpus drop i gotta get those

i think my fav part of the build is goin be the case

Oh wow they have just msrp pny 5070 tis at my Walmart

[icy ore]

Saw someone grab a 5060ti that Walmart had on clearance for like $99 or something

Crazy

[upper rain]

that's been a thing for a while yah. it's pretty nifty! makes it a bit cringe that 9070 xt is still at $700. really ought to he $650 or so to stay relevant

@fresh timber new Arc-ism. the a770 just refuses to run timespy now. blackscreens instantly or a few seconds in

kind of cringe bc i'm supposed to be benching TS for a potential buyer rn, so i'm stuck troubleshooting drivers and stuff

basically 0 driver issues until i need the card to work properly for a buyer. insane

ADVANCED GAMING

[dusk knot]

Made for yesterday's gaming

[craggy shoal]

43W GPU

[cedar compass]

only for OEMs ?

[tranquil pebble]

5 class is already abysmal, let alone a 4

[cedar compass]

it's probably igpu level card lol

[tranquil pebble]

pretty close to it lol

[opaque sedge]

Before the big bang gaming

[craggy shoal]

[tranquil pebble]

that memory speed is going to make it pretty slow

[wary fjord]

must be nice

7400 they should bring back the agp ati type of card design haha

just for lols

its only 43w anyway

those anime cooler

custom mold

[craggy shoal]

At this point just make the RX 680 and give it another 4GB/8GB option

[cedar compass]

at least it's 128bit this time

[wary fjord]

its a peasant edition

below 128

[craggy shoal]

Bruh just give us the RX 580 XT and 580 XTX

[wary fjord]

expandable vram will be nice.. make the vram ... socket type like cpu.. u can snap each module like lga

[opaque sedge]

Ngl wish i could do smth fun like a project on my pc to make it more interesting and give some more performance but not much a person can do in that regard other than getting a new gpu

deymm

[upper rain]

yes

Zen 6 competitor, up to like 300mb of l3 cache

[wary fjord]

hope that translate = more perf

i have no idea really xD

[upper rain]

i would hope so lol. intel would have to be absolutely cooked if adding 300mb of cache to their CPUs doesn't make them faster lmao

[tranquil pebble]

it will only help if loading from memory is a bottleneck for a given workload

[upper rain]

well yes, all rhe usual x3d things

[tranquil pebble]

and also they will need to make sure the L3 latency isnt too high either

if they trade latency for capacity on the L3 that might not be so great

all this technical talk

I mean you could technically call it a hybrid in the sense that your legs are the engine and the battery is the "hybrid system"

breh

[craggy shoal]

I went to the gym yesterday but also meant to go on a bike ride as well. I like doing that when I can get enough sleep the next morning

Didn't go on the bike ride though :(

Definitely riding my bike today

[paper verge]

bike riding

would only ever do it

if i had a crazy uphill road

and would challenge myself each week

wow that would be a dream

[wise wigeon]

yeah at 700 i'd stretch the extra budget for a 70 ti

[upper rain]

for sure. marginally better raster, fair bit better RT, and DLSS 4. definitely worth $50

[wise wigeon]

i bought my 9070xt for too much but whatever its chillin

[wise wigeon]

its like 100w less at load too

kinda wack ngl

i don't live in a place with amazingly cheap power but the extra wattage isn't that big an issue

but the fans do kick inmore than my old gpu

its a lil weird the fans kick when i'm on mh wilds but not bf6

even though they're pushing 300w and similar usage

[upper rain]

i didn't realize that lol, that's crazy

[wise wigeon]

yeah idk any comparison i see its like 230-250 vs 300-360 w

[upper rain]

unless you pay literally $1/kw+ the actual cost of ownership is pretty negligible when it comes to even pretty substantial power draw increases unless you're a professional doing 24/7 rendering or something. the far greater cost imo is the fact that your room will heat up far worse lol

[upper rain]

yep lines up with TPUs data. 270w vs 350

[wise wigeon]

mem is warm on the 70xt

it makes me uncomfortable ngl even though its normal and in spec

[upper rain]

what temps?

[wise wigeon]

memory

core is cool

[upper rain]

yes, i read

[wise wigeon]

memory gets to mid 80s

[upper rain]

that's not even really warm, pretty normal tbf

uncomfortably hot is nvidia 3000 series GDDR6x

[wise wigeon]

which i mean i shouldn't worry too hard because i was on ampere before

[upper rain]

those consistently ran a few models out of the already increased thermal spec for GDDR6x

[upper rain]

yah lol

[opaque sedge]

Are Gddr x memory chips exclusive to nvidia?

[wise wigeon]

and iirc the 80 and 90s were pushing past 100c on memory

not my gpu but like i heard it got rather hot on high end 30 series

[upper rain]

yes they were a joint design with Nvidia and Micron

[wise wigeon]

idk i don't think so but amd is not exactly going for the more expensive moemory anyway

[wise wigeon]

oh damn

[upper rain]

ventus 3090 would hit 115C pretty often lol. 10C out of spec

and 20C above standard GDDR6 spec

[wise wigeon]

3090 was a waste unless you needed the moemory

[upper rain]

i owned three 3090's hehe

the memory was nice

[wise wigeon]

it was like 10-15% faster than the 3080 iirc

[upper rain]

something like that

[wise wigeon]

but over 2 times the memory is good for some people

10 gb was decent for the 3080 at the time since the 2080ti was what 11gb?

but now 10 gb is pitiful

[upper rain]

i disagree

we'd been on 8GB for mainstream cards since 2015 with the 390x

taking it up to 10GB on a supposedly high end card 6 years later was pitiful even at the time

it only looked reasonable because we were pre-console gen transition, so the new system requirement paradigm hadn't fully solidified

even at Ampere launch 8GB was problematic at 1440p in a handful of games. rarely, but still ocassionally. 10GB on a "4K" graphics card was insane

the price/performance (at msrp) was enough for that to not be a big concern imo, but when prices went crazy and people started dumping $2000 into them, i think that was a little absurd. at that point pay the premium to go 3090 and not have to worry about it

[wise wigeon]

700 msrp for a 80 series a true pipe dream now

remember when people thought the 2080 ti price was wack, which it was but thats nothing compared to recent gens

[upper rain]

RDNA 5/UDNA probably won't pull prices per tier down at the high end, but it is at least allegedly targeting a much better value midrange. and current rumors suggest a stratospheric performance increase at the high end. so as long as prices don't increase wildly, we may see an Ampere like price/performance improvement on a generation not bound by shortages

i doubt it tbh, but it is at least a possibility

[royal crow]

9060XT/B580 is the way to go now in terms of vram:money ratio

[wise wigeon]

well specficially the xt 16 gb for 50 dollars more right?

[royal crow]

Ye

[wise wigeon]

there is an 8 gb version yeah?

[royal crow]

Sadly

[upper rain]

oh yeah, people who bought MSRP 2080 ti's at Turing launch were laughing all the way to the bank lol. relevant even today, could have sold during Ampere for over what they paid, etc etc etc. no matter what they did (as long as they didn't panic sell for $300 on 3080/90 announcement day) they won

[wise wigeon]

thats assuming they didn't sell it

plenty did and were punished for it

[upper rain]

i'll have to wait and see when i get my b580, but i'm not super impressed by my a770 experience tbh. idk if i'd recommend Arc to most people

[wise wigeon]

20 series was a weird time

[upper rain]

i said this in my message lol, but yeah

[royal crow]

B580 is supposed to be really great

[wise wigeon]

dlss wasn't fully baked RT was new and it wasnt a great deal faster than 10 series iirc

[royal crow]

4060 ti performance for half the price

[upper rain]

better drivers is what B580 needs over my A770, and unless the Battlemage architecture is way easier to program to, i doubt i'll be thoroughly impressed. but i'm open to being surprised

[wise wigeon]

assuming the game plays well with arc

[royal crow]

Yeah

[upper rain]

more like 3060 ti performance

[wise wigeon]

drivers still need work on arc

[upper rain]

4060 ti leads by ~15% average

[upper rain]

can confirm lol

[royal crow]

True, it isn't stable on quite a few games I believe

[upper rain]

i just had to do a fresh driver install earlier bc the arc drivers just imploded on themselves for no reason

[wise wigeon]

when it works and you have a decent cpu its nice

when you have a entry cpu and the drivers are crapping out its hell

[upper rain]

i have a great CPU, but mixed experiences with the drivers

[royal crow]

Ok maybe just 9060 XT

[upper rain]

almost all of the time they work, othertimes i'm spending an hour failing to POST and black screening instantly

[wise wigeon]

wasn't it like slower that a 4060 if you have like something akin to a 5600x/10700k

and once you start using upscalers it falls further behind

i was pleasantly surprised when battlemage launched but like the cpu stuff a few weeks later was an oof

[upper rain]

i have a 5800x and 7800x3d. will try to test with both and report back

[lone mango]

I think even the 9800x3d got more frames too

Which is crazy

[upper rain]

insane lol

[sinful blade]

I think the lowest card I’d be fine with downgrading to is a 3080ti

Well, sidegrading. I’d be losing memory for the same performance.

[elfin mural]

intel lost the linux cpu temp monitoring driver engineer

the driver is officially orphaned

with no maintainer

[lone mango]

They axed everything

[elfin mural]

the engineer got laid off

and moved to nvidia

[lone mango]

They did the same thing to an entire distribution the company maintained

[elfin mural]

it sounds like nvidia is scooping the engineers from intel right up

[lone mango]

Novideo distro

[elfin mural]

nvidia linux distro

kek

the clear linux project is done for

[lone mango]

Maybe then their drivers will be good

[elfin mural]

i suppose so

nvidia got all the linux engineers from intel

at least that's what it looks like

[lone mango]

Quite literally overnight

Next day everyone was gone and it shut down immediately

[elfin mural]

it's a bit disheartening

[lone mango]

Time to fork

[elfin mural]

it won't be the same that is

since there's no one inside intel working on it

[lone mango]

Now clearest linux

[elfin mural]

but i hope to GOD intel doesn't hire vibe coders

drivers would be hell

[sinful blade]

What really sparked Intel’s downfall?

[elfin mural]

mismanagement

and products that kept flopping

delays after delays

10nm was supposed to happen almost a decade ago

[lone mango]

That led to stagnation

Then cope fixes

[elfin mural]

intel was thrown into a weird partnership loop

not much money was thrown into actually engineering stuff

the ceo of that time kept partnering up with companies

[tranquil pebble]

Intel's downfall will probably be taught in college business courses lol

[elfin mural]

the giant can fall after all

[tranquil pebble]

also lessons on what NOT to do

[elfin mural]

with a deep wound like that

tough to recover

once intel cancels arc project it's a bad sign, very bad

[sinful blade]

Their GPU’s could’ve been so good

[elfin mural]

i hope that doesn't happen

[sinful blade]

The b580 probably gave them a bit of life

That was a relative success

[elfin mural]

also intel could have made dgpus if they saw the potential back then

they had the world with igpus

[tranquil pebble]

Intel can not afford many more mistakes.

[sinful blade]

Intel not already being in the dgpu space was criminal

[elfin mural]

big market missed

intel entered too late imo

they legit have igpu experience

and the money of back then

the cpu money

[tranquil pebble]

If I were Intel I would be focusing on preventing the situation from getting any worse, and saving their most profitable parts first

[sinful blade]

If they put a lot more resources into the gpu space NOW, I guarantee they’d have a 5090 competitor by 2028

[tranquil pebble]

and it might not even pay off... they are definitely in a pinch

[elfin mural]

it's too late

[tranquil pebble]

that was what I was thinking too... it is however, not too late for them to save their enterprise sector.

[dusk knot]

This

[tranquil pebble]

I would personally not be fine with any kind of downgrade ngl. Especially as that would mean an overall loss of the current value I get out of my PC.

[dusk knot]

The lowest I'm willing to downgrade to is some ugly 5080 AIB

[misty sparrow]

I could go back to my 1060 6GB

[craggy shoal]

bruh

[sinful blade]

Honestly, the 3080 ti has similar performance, but I’d be losing FSR4, the RT capabilities on this newest AMD gen, and 4GB of memory

[tranquil pebble]

I am also waiting for a solid card with 32 GB VRAM to not cost >$2000

[misty sparrow]

for AI usage right?

[tranquil pebble]

yes, partly

[misty sparrow]

what else will you use it for

other than AI

[sinful blade]

[tranquil pebble]

I have also a game that will use as much VRAM as you give it, literally

[misty sparrow]

sounds like an unoptimized game

[tranquil pebble]

more VRAM lets it deploy more units at once

talking in the millions lol

[sinful blade]

Guy around me is selling a new in box 5090 for 3k flat

[dense locust]

Time to get the rtx pro 6000

[tranquil pebble]

ironically, allocating most of a card's VRAM is actually an optimization some games do

[sinful blade]

Have you seen gaming on the new thread ripper lmao

[sinful blade]

Minecraft does^^^

Minecraft treated my 1080 a few years back like a 1030 until I let it use more vram

[dusk knot]

Yeah

[misty sparrow]

the way you described it, it didnt sound like it was good on paper

Also what the heck is this lol

[untold wing]

I've been trying to connect using a usb cord the ps5 controller i just bought for a while now i feel like I've tried everything i could find online

[craggy shoal]

Just wow

[pliant berry]

Plugging in controller to a pc?

[untold wing]

Yeah

[craggy shoal]

Like physically plugging it in?

[untold wing]

Yeah

[craggy shoal]

It isn't that hard

I mean unless I’m misunderstanding

[untold wing]

It works on steam game and steam but not anything else even games that I added to steam won't work

[craggy shoal]

So you meant compatibility, not physically plugging it in

A lot of games on PC don't support a PS5 controller or vaguely support it. You'd have better luck with an Xbox controller

[random osprey]

theres a program meant for playstation controllers to be used on games that do support just controllers

idk what limitations it has though for games

[craggy shoal]

DS4 Windows. Idk if it supports PS5 controllers though

It's easier to just return the controller and get an Xbox controller

[untold wing]

I already tried it and it's meant for Bluetooth connection

[craggy shoal]

Did you try connecting it via Bluetooth?

[untold wing]

I've been thinking about it

[craggy shoal]

Just do it honestly. It's easier

[untold wing]

I don't have Bluetooth yet the adapter is arriving tomorrow

[craggy shoal]

I still wouldn't rely on a PS5 controller for controller-based games

Just return it. You can still use Bluetooth with the Xbox controller

[untold wing]

I've been using Xbox controllers for a long time and they are very unreliable I have one rn but a bunch of the buttons have stopped working

It like my 7th one in the past 4 years

[misty sparrow]

so here's the thing

for games you add to steam, you have to enable steam input

[untold wing]

I did

[misty sparrow]

did you try configuring stuff in steam input

[untold wing]

Yeah

[deep parcel]

thats why I get third party controllers now

ive been using my Gamesir Cyclone 2 controller on pc and it has been amazing

I also use it for my switch 2

[misty sparrow]

8bitdo makes pretty good controllers too

[deep parcel]

ive heard they are good but I dont like their ergonomics

I like the cyclone because it feels like an xbox controller which im used to

[misty sparrow]

fair enough

oh wait is this the brand that puts hall effect sticks in their controllers

[deep parcel]

yup

[misty sparrow]

cool

[deep parcel]

this one has TMR sticks which are better than HE

[misty sparrow]

wow

smaller company can put higher quality sticks into their controllers but big boy companies like Nintendo can't put better sticks in their $70+ controllers

[deep parcel]

literally greed

[misty sparrow]

joycon2s are basically a scam

basically fixed nothing

[deep parcel]

I dont use em at all...

[misty sparrow]

how are they $90

they recently did a video on it... I was surprised it wasnt in their controller roundup video

[misty sparrow]

if there was a version of this controller without the funny-looking red accents and that techie design around the buttons i'd be more tempted to buy it

like just black or just white

[deep parcel]

im not buying any first party xbox controllers anymore either... if I buy anything its more than likely gonna be a Gamesir controller.

Theres a white version

also the red accents are adjustable

they are RGB so you can change the lighting

I have mine set to green

[misty sparrow]

cool

for me though i really like the design of the xbox controller and how they have so many colors for it

i'd just replace the sticks, really all i'd do

[misty sparrow]

looks better

[deep parcel]

yeah if someone made throw in HE sticks for a first party xbox controller somehow that would be insane

all of my xbox controllers have died to stick drift

except my 2015 original xbox one controller

and my corded xbox 360 controller

[misty sparrow]

funnily enough i have never really gotten stick drift problems on all my normal controllers

except joycons but those arent normal controllers + i got it fixed for free

[deep parcel]

those are still both fine... xbox one controller has squeaky triggers though

wack

literally my last xbox controller lasted maybe 6 months

I used it for maybe 100 hours of gameplay

[misty sparrow]

wow, that's bad

was it one of the elite ones or just normal ones

[deep parcel]

before it started drifting

normal ones lol

it was the cyberpunk 2077 special edition one

[misty sparrow]

oh no

[untold wing]

That's about what they've been lasting for me too

[misty sparrow]

that one is a good looking controller, why did you use it 💀

i wouldve kept it in the box

[deep parcel]

dunno I wanted to use it lol

its still in perfect condition other than the sticks

prob can be repaired

[misty sparrow]

ifixit probably has something

[deep parcel]

wow they do have TMR sticks

the gulikit ones

[misty sparrow]

i was thinking of gulikit earlier

pretty sure they sell controllers too

[deep parcel]

yup but they are hit or miss

sticks themselves are great

[misty sparrow]

at least they arent valve index controllers

now those things are terrible

[deep parcel]

I thought they were great?

[misty sparrow]

they break very easily

the thumbstick cap can easily fall off

[deep parcel]

ah dang

[misty sparrow]

become loose

it's worse than the og joycons with the thumbsticks

[deep parcel]

sad

[dusk knot]

Now they do it!?????

[tranquil pebble]

ikr

[dusk knot]

I thought it was DEAD

[tranquil pebble]

nope

[dusk knot]

Wow

20 years too late

[tranquil pebble]

maybe not quite, but I would have absolutely pulled the plug by 2010

[peak heart]

Is 7800x3d and 9070xt best combo??

[hoary zodiac]

"best" in terms of...?

[peak heart]

Gaming, photoshop and occasional DaVinci and after effects

[hoary zodiac]

Technically it's not "the best"

But who cares it doesn't cost two kidneys

[peak heart]

I have $2000 budget

Cad

[acoustic palm]

itll be meh for ae

and i wouldnt get 7800x3d if you dont only game

[peak heart]

What do you suggest?
